I am not 100% sure but with the correct offset on the wheels you can run then as they are. No narrowing required. I say this because we put one in a S-10 and it worked out great and a S-10 is almost a bolt in on a Luv. A 8" is a great rear end for the street.

I got both for $80. $40 each so I took both. Ive talked to a couple people that put 8"s in Luvs and you have to move the spring perches and run a 5.5( I think. Ill have to contact someone when I get to that point) back spacing.
